MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / May 2007Bullets and Numbering - justify?
How do you set a sub paragraph to be justified using bullets and numbering? I found the font settings but not thr left/right/justify option. Explain what you mean by a "subparagraph." If you're talking about an outline-numbered/bulleted paragraph at a lower level, you apply this formatting through Format | Paragraph (or, preferably, Format | Style) just as you would for any other paragraph. Note that the font settings in the Bullets and Numbering dialog are for the bullet or number only. Bullets often come from a different font than the Default Paragraph Font, but the font of the numbers should not be specified unless you want it to be different from the rest of the paragraph.

I can go back and justify it after applying the numbering but it is always left justified when I apply the numbering based on how I have it set up. I am not sure how to include the justify as part of the numbering. Except for the Header 1 level I need all of the lower levels justified. Thanks, Mich > Explain what you mean by a "subparagraph."

There is no such thing as "left and right justified." There's left-aligned, right-aligned, centered, and justified. If you want the paragraph to be justified, then you format the paragraph (or the paragraph style) as Justified. This setting is in the Format | Paragraph dialog, not in Format | Bullets and Numbering. The settings in the numbering dialog determine the alignment of the number, not the paragraph. You should be using heading styles (not justified) for your heading and body text styles (justified) for your body text. SignatureSuzanne S.

I guess that was a bad example - I also have a), b), c) and (1), (2), (3) type numbering. a) The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This is where I need the justify format built into the numbering system. It seems as though I have more options in setting up the formatting of the table of contents levels than the actual document body levels. The entire document has multiple levels, several font sizes, tables, figures, centered highlighted Notes areas, etc. I wish I was able to just highlight it all and tell it to justify but I pretty much have to do it a paragraph as a time. Having that as part of the numbering format would be useful. Current I am using format painter for each level which maintains the justify setting, but would rather apply a numbering level and have it happen automatically. About the justify - I came from the newspaper world - our columns were left justified, right justified, centered or left and right justified - Microsoft changed the terminology! ;-) > There is no such thing as "left and right justified."

The Numbering dialog establishes the formatting (including position) of the number only. The Paragraph dialog establishes the alignment of the paragraph. When you create or modify a style (Body Text, say, or List Number or Heading 1), if you will click the Format button at the bottom of the Modify Style dialog, you will see that there are numerous properties you can define in the paragraph style. One of these is Paragraph; another is Numbering. It is possible that the Left, Right, Center control in the numbering dialog is confusing you; that governs only the alignment of the number relative to the "Aligned at" position set in the dialog. For example, say you have specified that the number should be aligned at 0.25". If you use the default Left positioning, then the number will start at 0.25" and extend to the right as far as required. If your numbers will be longer than a digit or two, you may need to increase the amount of the "Tab space after" setting to prevent the number and tab from overrunning the tab stop. If you select Right, then the number will end at 0.25" (that is, it will be to the left of the position). If you select center, the number will be centered at 0.25". The settings are comparable to Left, Center, and Right tab stops. None of this affects the alignment of the paragraph itself, which is set in the Paragraph dialog. SignatureSuzanne S.
